After finishing college in Switzerland, Orion left Europe on a ‘Big Tour’. Starting in India, then the Himalayas, down to Myanmar, Laos, Thailand… and eventually Bali. That tour lasted one year and showed him South East Asia in the Eighties. After seeing Bali, he went back to establish and Co-found an international Seminar Center in Northern Italy. During these years, he bought land and built a Retreat Center on the North Coast of Bali: Bali Mandala. They had seminars and trainings of all kinds and he started taking notes and observe the immense difference between the local life on the remote north coast, and the western visitors to Bali, being thrown into local life without internet, telephone and western food. After fifteen years living in Buleleng and driving all over the island, he moved to Ubud, getting involved in Green School, as a core group teacher of the first years after opening. He participated in Ubud’s flair for spiritual practice and lifestyle, while still being connected to local village life in North Bali. Eventually, he started writing about his travels, his observations of the cultural difference. His first book “Eighthundred Moons” was published in 2022 and listed on Amazon’s Kindle. He started a Blog (Travel News, wixsite) and in 2024 he published his book that deals with BALI – perceptions, stories, experiences, culture clash, and local dramas – his contributions to living in Bali since 30 years.
